LAB Bowl

The new KPM+ Edition of the LAB Bowls by artist Anna Haifisch - presented by SZ Magazin:

Frederick the Great had two great loves: Porcelain and dogs. His last words were for Superbe, his favorite dog, who faithfully lingered by his deathbed. The multi-award-winning Leipzig artist and comic artist Anna Haifisch has now combined Frederick's passions on the bowls in the LAB collection - as a humorous combination of passion and history.

Biche, Alcmène, Hasenfuß, Thisbe, Phillis, Arsione and Superbe - Friedrich's seven wind chimes now jump, play and chase in delicate blue lines on a white background. It is no coincidence that they are reminiscent of birds in their pointed filigree. After all, it is not only the artist Anna Haifisch who prefers to devote herself artistically to feathered motifs, Frederick also knew: "An idiot who has not yet realized that the wind chime is not a dog at all, but a four-legged bird."

In the medium of porcelain (similar to her otherwise preferred medium of paper), purity, whiteness, and hardness play a major role. "When an ink pen glides effortlessly and wetly over a smooth surface, there is nothing more satisfying for me," the artist sums up.

The glazed part of the LAB Bowls offered the perfect surface for Haifisch: she applied her designs by hand with pen and paint. In the spirit of the artist, the decors of the now produced edition were applied by the KPM master painting workshop in a manual printing process and are therefore very robust and dishwasher-safe.
